Even though I only read 74 books in 2016 in caparison to 145 books in 2015, it was still a pretty good reading year. I tried some great new authors and read many good books. Besides this, the highlight of 2016 for me is this blog. I started Travelling Through Words and worked on it. I designed my own banner. I posted book reviews and a lot of other posts. I made connections with other bloggers, bookstagrammers and authors. For me, these are the best accomplishments I made this year.
I also completed my 1 year blogging anniversary this month. With this, I want to give a huge thank you to all the people who read my posts, followed my blog, commented on it, liked it and just everyone who supported me. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3
All this said, lets get started with my 2016 reading journey!

My 2016 Haul
I also got abridged editions of Pride and Prejudice, Monte Cristo and Oliver Twist.
This pretty much sums up my reading of 2016. Hope you all liked this post! Let me know down below some of your favorite books of 2016 🙂
Ok. I bought the Cambia Hebert since it’s on Kindle unlimited and the Audio was $2.99. The DAVID Leviathan i bought a year ago and forgot about it. I’ll add it to my Get to Fast list
That’s great! These books are definitely worth the read.
My youngest son is a Rock Riordan fan. Thanks for these recommendations.
That’s great! His books are really great for children and young adults. Thank you:)
Hi!
This sounds like you’ve had a great reading year!
You have a lovely website, I just became a new follower 🙂
I did have a good read year:) Thank you so much!
I love Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series! I haven’t read the Greek Gods and Heroes, along with the Magnus Chase series, but you seem to be enjoying them! Will definitely take a look at them!
Thank you for the list! 😀
You’re welcome! The Greek Gods and Heroes are absolutely amazing! You’ll love them since you liked Percy Jackson. The first Magnus Chase is really good too and I just got the second one!
Yes, I believe so! 😀
Ooh! I will be waiting for your review about the series! XD
Thank you:) I’ll post a review of the second Magnus Chase as soon as I read it. I do have reviews of the first book and the Greek Gods if you want to check them out.
